 ====== Retaining a Setup with an Honest Riffle Shuffle ======
-While this principle is generally credited to Charles Jordan due to its appearance as "Tracking the Dovetail Shuffle to Its Lair" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14618/Thirty+Card+Mysteries/9-13|Thirty Card Mysteries]]//, 1919, p. 7 of the second edition. However, Jordan was preceded by C. O. Williams in the use of a single shuffle to retain two sequences mixed together. Williams's idea was published in Stanyon's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16763/Stanyon+s+Magic+Vol+13+No+12/4-5|Magic]]//, Vol. 13 No. 12, Sep. 1913, p. 100. Jordan, in his introduction to the above book (p. 1), acknowledges Williams's prior claim. Jordan had published this shuffle principle three years prior to //Thirty Card Mysteries// in //[[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433019397649;view=1up;seq=81|Thayer's Magical Bulletin]]//, Vol. 9 No. 7, Jul. 1916, np., apparently before becoming aware that it had been published in 1913 by Williams.

O. Williams in the use of a single shuffle to retain two sequences mixed together. Williams's idea — using a stack with a one-way back — was published as "Card Reading Extraordinary" in Will Goldston's //[[https://askalexander.org/display/10745/The+magician+monthly/79|The Magician Monthly]]//, Vol. 8 No. 5. April 1912, p. 67, in Professor Hoffmann's column "Scraps from my Notebook".
